Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology(MEITY)promotes e-Governance for empowering citizens, promoting the inclusive and sustainable growth of the Electronics, IT &ITeS industries, enhancing India’s role in Internet Governance, adopting a multipronged approach that includes development of human resources, promoting R&D and innovation, enhancing efficiency through digital services and ensuring a secure cyber space. 21 problem statements have been identified from this Ministry.

Every product has its own product development cycle and manufacturing model. During handling of projects, the product development cycle needs to be minimized for development time for the specific product. Design an generic optimization technique to minimize development time based on Nair’s product development model as depicted.

Project assessment and technology development requires lot of background check on feasibility and technology status. The most time consuming effort in this task is collection of relevant data (work done by different researchers all over the world). Several document sources such as patents, journal papers etc. needs to be looked into to arrive at a decent status know how and extract the feasibility of the project. To minimize the time, automation of this task is necessary.

For creation of indigenous cyber range for training cyber warriors. There are available test bed’s offered by various vendors like Breaking Point by IXIA (Cyber Range) , Cybergym by an Israeli company which offers generation of traffic in the computer network and introduction of malwares for having cyber security drills etc. We can have attacking team who carries a cyber attack and a defending team which protects itself and the infrastructure from the attacks. Then there is a third team that oversees this drills. The available system are very costly and we need indigenous solutions/equipment for training purposes.

The virtual environment for practicing cyber forensics will be immensely useful for cyber crime investigators to gain a thorough understanding of the subject and creation of much needed technical manpower in this area.

This include creation of virtual lab having a complete learning management system where students can access various tools of learning, lectures, animated demonstration sharing of costly equipment or resources etc.

Challenges in decrypting PGP, AES, Truecrypt encryptions. This problem is often faced in several cases of cyber crime where the criminal has encrypted his entire hard disk and it is difficult to decrypt the data.

App should be able to Geo-tag a photograph and upload the same. At any time given time, for same location progress can be monitored (in Real Time). Facility to upload by citizen. Can be linked to Municipal Bodies monitoring system for finding the loopholes and improve upon the reporting system.

Preparation of a Tender document is a lengthy and time consuming process.

By using automated tender document preparation, specific requirement for the tender may be given and can made in shortest possible time. Also, it would facilitate in adhering to the laid out rules and procedures strictly without any dilution. Though exceptions can be captured into the developed system wherever possible.

Various knowledge content like Text, Scripts, Audio, Video, Images, Gifs etc when collected from various sources / resources persons can be digitally managed. Rights to the shared content might be free/open or charged per-usage.

A system is to be developed to digitally manage such work-out between various sources.

According to E-waste Management Rules 2016, waste EEE’s proper disposal is responsibility of producer. For such purpose producer’s need to track their products for at least 5 to 10 years in which time that product stops functioning and enters into electronic waste stream. Which product will enter the waste stream at what phase is difficult to ascertain in terms of product life due to two primary factors; one, in India, products are repaired/ refurbished multiple times before it enters waste stream and second electronic waste collection is a major challenge for most of the states in India. So, tracking an EEE product is best way to provide yearly collection targets for producers in India.

Constraint/s: Tracking cannot be based on ownership as it will violate their privacy.

Impersonation detection is a major problem in conducting any examination, especially in Online examination. The main cause of the difficulty is the lack of efficiency and/or integrity on the part of the Invigilator. In order to have a fool-proof automated system, it is advised to remove the human factor in impersonation detection. Hence, an accurate system for detection of impersonation in online examination is the need of the hour

Currently, Hospitals/Healthcare centre work in isolation. The means for co-ordinated/inter-connection among them is still a long way to go in India. Patient records (medical life history as well as case to case) are not digitalized / transcribed and the data/record of medical history of a patient is not readily available/accessible online or on-demand across various Hospitals/Healthcare.

Networked devices will let hospitals monitor patients when they are away, and recommend interventions when a serious problem is imminent.

Policy, guidelines, norms, digital appliances and various software applications are required to Network all the Hospital and Healthcare centres in India.

Drought is a normal, recurrent feature of climate and characterized in terms of its spatial extension, intensity and duration. Conditions of drought appear when rainfall is deficient in relation to the statistical multi-year average for a region, over an extended period of a season or a year, or even more. Drought is a temporary aberration unlike aridity, which is a permanent feature of climate.

Mitigation measures are initiatives undertaken to reduce the incidence or minimise impacts of drought. Besides drought proofing, these measures help in adapting to climate change, restoring ecological balance and bringing development benefits to the people. However, drought mitigation programmes are not to be construed stand-alone interventions that are to be implemented only in the wake of a drought; but must form part of developmental planning in the domain of soil conservation, watershed development and forestry. As such, drought mitigation measures are to be mainstreamed in regular development programmes of Central and State Governments.

Video Surveillance solutions are security tools that help reduce crime and protect people and property. These solutions deter revenue loss from stolen merchandise, destruction of valuable information and vandalism.

A GIS based integrated solution for personal security where instant police assistance should be provided to a person in extreme distress or feeling high threat to safety. The system should cater for women and children when they need immediate help.
